I'm in the last few weeks of a twin pregnancy and also have a little boy of 4.5. Family and friends have been fab, but I'm still looking at a couple of days a week when I do full days alone with DS.
I'm basically housebound and extremely limited in what I can do in the house. I'm not very mobile, can't bend over and can't stand for more than short periods. This is really limiting what I can do with DS..and he is getting bored. He gets more and more bored and progressively naughtier and both of us are ending up in a tired traumatised tearful heap by the time DH comes home from work.
I've done baking cakes, painting, making collages but am really struggling to come up with things to keep him busy and occupied that I am capable of facilitating or joining in with.
Has anybody got any suggestions for good activities for immobile housebound lumps to do which will amuse small children for decent amounts of time? I'm getting a bit desperate.
